Crimean War:

Crimean War:
Russo-Turkish War 1877-1878


4. What is the legacy of colonization in that country? (Legacy is something handed down from the past. Remember the legacy of King Leopold II in the Congo? It was a system of oppression and violence that still exists today).

5. What is the current relationship between former colony and colonizer? (Keep in mind places like French Indochina and the Ottoman Empire no longer exist. Try to find info for the current names of these places: Search for French and Vietnamese foreign relations or Russian and Turkish foreign relations).

6. Artistic Interpretation / Contribution: Identify a person or group of people who resisted the colonization while it was occurring. Create a “Hero of Resistance Monument.”
